If you aren't super careful with the mini-sites, they'll just look spammy, and won't get you anywhere. Blogs def. get the upper hand here.. but they do take a loooong time to pull in some money. The community is a big plus too - it keeps you motivated when people are interested and responding, and playing a part. Jeremy:

I agree with Cory. I think the right answer is to try and merge the two so that it is easy to create a mini-site with community features like a blog. My startup is trying to do something like this.

If only you could blend some kind of community aspect into a mini-site, you'd have the best of both worlds.

They are much easier to monetize, but the money won't flow in for very long. But the bad part about blogging is that it takes a lot longer to get any amount of money from, and it takes even longer to get a good amount of readers.
